AND

IN THE MATTER of an application by STEVEN TATANA KAHOTEA pursuant to s.123 of the Act for renewal of a General Manager’s Certificate

BEFORE THE LIQUOR LICENSING AUTHORITY

Chairman: District Court Judge J D Hole

Member: Mr P M McHaffie

DECISION

We have before us an application by Steven Tatana Kahotea for renewal of a General Manager’s Certificate.

On Friday 13 May 2011 Mr Kahotea was duty manager in licensed premises in which liquor was sold to an under-age volunteer during a controlled purchase operation. As a consequence the Police and District Licensing Agency Inspector have recommended that Mr Kahotea’s certificate be renewed for a period of one year. Mr Kahotea has accepted this recommendation.

We are satisfied as to the matters to which we must have regard in s.126 of the Act and we renew the certificate for 12 months until 29 June 2012. A notice of renewal is attached to this decision.

DATED at WELLINGTON this 23rd day of August 2011

Secretary
